Racial motive probed after attack on baby’s bedroom

Gardaí are investigating a suspected racist attack in which a seven-week old baby girl narrowly avoided serious injury. Thugs tossed a 10ft iron bar, and a lump of wood, through her bedroom window, in a brazen daylight attack.

However, a plumber who was working in the house raced after them and detained one of the suspects, until the gardai arrived.
